wouldnt ssd optimization and hdd scheduled defrags mess that entire idea up ?
plus with so many clusters per volume cluster to cluster compare seems like an extra work / time as it utilizes 2 reads , 1 compare and 1 write (changed) vs a straight 1 read 1 write along the way[/COLOR]

Macrium Reflect Paid version does this and it works fine, even on SSDs and if only modest changes between cloned drive and current state of source drive, it is amazingly fast. There comes a point where Reflect decides the changes are too complicated and reverts to a full clone. My experience is this usually happens if the partitions have been changed.
